Some new bots, MW and HW. Had to do some non-realistic things to simulate something that can be done realistically on the HW.

DSL wheels aren't very grippy, go for Tornados, Vlads, or Hypnos.

They are as grippy as Tornado's and Vlad's, and he won't be able to put on Hypnos on these.

I suggest Slipperbottoms for the drum (that i like) and Vlads for the first one.

Kewl. Does the motor in the MW spin up or down?

And does the drum also have burst wedges? :D

MikeNCR · « **Reply #284 on:** January 06, 2010, 11:38:35 AM »

it spins CCW, so when it's at rest it spins like a normal VS, (ie, upward rotation).

Could you put these in a pack too Mike?

Badnik, it's a skin, does it really matter.

JoeBlo · « **Reply #289 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:47:04 PM »

just export the texture of one of mikes green/ black design robots and apply it to another robot

QFT. Skins are nearly worthless IMO
Bots are:
99% Fight
.8% Aestheticness of components
.2% Skin

Playing around with more ideas-

Clickbeetle · « **Reply #292 on:** March 02, 2010, 10:50:11 PM »

The flamer bot is cool but sorta needs a damaging weapon for finishing the opponent off (unless you're counting on the hazards to do that, which with a 35kg plow might be a feasible strategy).

I would trade that plow on the HS for some weapon motor protection; those Magmotors don't have much HP. Possibly wheel protection as well since front-oriented HS's tend to twist to the side a lot.

The rammer looks like a juggernaut. Slow, but the only way it will be beaten is with a wedge (or a Bisector... hehe).

Man you have so many good LW's, how are you ever going to choose one for BBEANS?

MikeNCR · « **Reply #293 on:** March 03, 2010, 12:04:20 AM »

I was thinking I might make a poster and throw darts at it.

Naryar · « **Reply #294 on:** March 03, 2010, 05:29:05 AM »

The flamer is really cool and can win by WBP, no need for hazards.

The two others however = bleh

MikeNCR · « **Reply #295 on:** March 03, 2010, 01:44:24 PM »

Yeah, at this point I'm mostly just trying whatever idea pops into my head. The flamethrower bot is very effective, and does have some spikes on the back, though AI-ing it to spin around late in the match and go for the chassis might be tough.

More bot packs will happen whenever I feel like it.

Update to the flamethrower bot-

If I could get an AI that'd have it use the flamethrower till the opponents chassis is toast, then switch to thwack mode, it'd be very competitive.

Badnik96 · « **Reply #298 on:** March 03, 2010, 08:02:02 PM »

maybe mod Nary's Octave.py?

This is doable. The biggest challenge (for me) would be getting the opponent's health so the AI knows when to switch tactics, but I know this has been done before.
